    Case Note The Copyright Law Veeck v. Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc., 241 F.3d 398 (5th Cir. 2001). "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." These foundational words now appear on more than 15,000 different 1 websites; a testament to the profound impact of the Internet on the public dissemination of-and access to-the law. No one holds a copyright in the First Amendment; anyone wishing to reprint its text may do so at will. But what if those who drafted laws could prevent others from distributing their works to the public? Imagine how different things would be if James Madison could collect royalties from all those who would reprint his august constitutional words. One might think the idea far-fetched. The 1976 Copyright Act prohibits copyright of federal government works,2 and the courts have long assigned statutes and judicial opinions to the public domain.3 But the Fifth Circuit's recent decision in Veeck v. Southern Building Code Congress International, 4 Inc. (SBCCI) unsettles many of these long-held assumptions. 1.

Roe* Abstract Legal origin — civil vs. common law — is said in much modern economic work to determine the strength of financial markets and the structure of corporate ownership, even in the world’s richer nations. The main means are thought to lie in how investor protection and property protection connect to civil and common law legal origin. But, I show here, although stockholder protection, property rights, and their supporting legal institutions are quite important, legal origin is not their foundation. Modern politics is an alternative explanation for divergent ownership structures and the differing depths of securities markets in the world’s richer nations. Some legislatures respect property and stock markets, instructing their regulators to promote financial markets; some do not. Brute facts of the twentieth century — the total devastation of many key nations, wrecking many of their prior institutions — predict modern postwar financial markets’ strength well and tie closely to postwar divergences in politics and policies in the world’s richest nations.

  • BDCS Notes EOD 9-18-12
    AREndurance STUDY NOTES building design + construction systems CONTENT AREA: PRINCIPLES Building Design Facts/Rules: • After an idea is developed for a building, an architect helps consolidate the owner’s thoughts and designs the form of the building. They assemble a group of engineers and specialists to help work out the details and scheme for the building. • Drawings and specifications are produced to explain how and what the building will be made of. • A contractor is hired either by negotiation or bid, who then hires subcontractors to complete specific portions of the work (e.g.: casework, electrical, doors/hardware) • Drawings/spec are submitted to the necessary municipality (city or county, typically) who verifies conformance with building code and local requirements/ordinances. • The building inspector and design team should observe the work at regular intervals to verify compliance with the construction documents. Concepts/Goals: • Designers are able to use a limitless palate of materials and systems to produce a building of any desired form/texture • Designers are bound by physical limitations (e.g.: size of site, soil bearing capacity, maximum span), budget, and legal restrictions. • Design professionals need to have a broad understanding of people, climate, physical principles of materials, available technologies, legal restrictions, and contractual arrangements and obligations under which buildings are built. • Designers must answer several questions when designing a building: • What will give the required functional performance? • What will give the desired aesthetic result? • What is possible legally? • What is most economic? • How can we build in a sustainable manner? Design Principles + Design Impact on Human Behavior Vocabulary: • Ahwahnee principles: a collective vision of how urban and suburban planning should follow certain fundamental principles regarding community size, integration, transportation, open space, pedestrian paths, native vegetation, water and energy use.

  • Benefits of Tribal Building Codes This Document Was Created by the Tribal Green Building Codes Workgroup, 2012
    Benefits of Tribal Building Codes This document was created by the Tribal Green Building Codes Workgroup, 2012 Tribes that develop and implement their own building code seek to provide safe, healthy, quality homes that meet the needs, values, and aspirations of the community, and reflect tribal culture and values. At a minimum, building codes exist to protect the health and safety of persons using a structure. Building codes can cover every aspect of the design, construction and renovation of structures, from specifying aesthetically appropriate architecture to regulating sewage disposal. Many state and local governments update codes to be current with new materials and technology, to lessen susceptibility to natural disasters, and to make ecologically sound use of resources.1 Most tribes have yet to adopt building codes. As a consequence, construction practices on tribal lands often default to state or local, non-tribal government building codes, or are determined by the federal agency funding the building project. Though the process for adopting a building code can be involved, the result can be a code that reflects tribal values, and the benefits can be transformative. Below are examples of benefits in adopting tribe- specific building codes. Health & Safety Improve Human Health - Codes can restrict the use of toxic building materials and prevent mold that can lead to poor indoor air quality and threaten human health. Safety - Codes can provide a comprehensive set of building safety and fire prevention codes that are unique to the respective tribal community’s culture, resources, and needs. Environment Reduced impact on the environment - Codes can include design considerations to protect the local habitat, and conserve resources (energy, water, and building materials) in construction and home operation.

President Internal Vice President External VP, Local Affairs External VP, Statewide Affairs Student Advocate General Collegiate Senator Off-Campus Senator On-Campus Senator University Owned Off-Campus Senator Candidates for President Let's talk, UCSB. My name is Jason Garshfield, and I am running for AS president with the Free Thinking Patriots, a party I helped found. As president: I will do my part to improve the affordability of a UCSB education by carefully reviewing the AS budget and eliminating all wasteful spending of our student fees. I will take a stand against the burgeoning police state in Isla Vista. In a community where violent crimes such as sexual assault are all too common, we should devote limited police resources towards apprehending dangerous criminals, not hassling students for victimless crimes. I will preserve Isla Vista's identity as a unique niche community. I will be a strong advocate for free speech, expanding 'free speech zones' on campus and eliminating speech codes that curtail students' freedom of expression. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has given UCSB a “yellow lightâ€​ ranking for its speech codes. I consider this Jason Garshfield unacceptable for a university of our caliber. Free Thinking Patriots (F.T.P.) I will develop a credible plan for Isla Vista self-governance that allows this town to reach its full potential, and creates spaces for responsible businesses that serve the community. I will reform AS by simplifying the elections code, eliminating cumbersome regulations that serve as barriers to entry for ordinary students who would like to become involved in school politics.
